    My strangest car was a 1954 Austin Metropolitan, I remember it used to go round corners on two wheels and the gear linkages would constantly get tangled up.

    A Volkswagen 181 similar to this one, unhappily not a single picture left of it.

    My first two sports cars, an MG tc and an Austin Healey 100s.
    Nothing unusual about that except my TC was a 1947 model, every other TC owner I ever met claimed theirs was a 1948 !!

    That is an Austin-Healey 100, not a 100S.

    A 1933 L type MG. It had a 6 cylinder overhead cam engine driven by the vertically mounted dynamo at the front of the engine. Also had a central greasing system, mostly for the spring trunnions if I recall correctly. Man should be castrated for selling it--the stupidity of youth!

    Also had a Bongo van for awhile in later years, and a civilian model Austin Champ.

    Back in 1979 when overseas for a job I used to have an Austin A40 sport like the one in the photo.
    In Australia, in 1970 I have 3 Triumph Herald, one registered, one for parts and the other on progress.

    Bodied by Aston or Jensen IIRC, leaning toward Jensen.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
